FLORIDA's CIGARMAKElss.


The Central Labor Union of New
York Considers the Situation,
NEW YORK, March 13.-The Central
Labor Union, at its meeting yesterday in
Clarendon Hall in East One Hundred and
Thlrty-eighth street, elected new set of
officers. The cigarmakers called atten
ton TO dispatch from Key West rela-
tive to the adventures of Ramon Rubiera
in Florida. Mr.. Rubiera is Secretary and
Organizer of the Cuban Confederation of
Cigarmakers IN this city, editor OF La Re-
pubIica and a delegate to the Cen
trail Labor Union, He went to Flor
ida ostensibly to settle the difficult
ties of the cigar manufacturing firm
of Ybor q Sanchez y Haya with its
employees, but ready to organize the
cigarmakers of Florida. the Central
Labor Union adopted a resolution that
tho proceedings of the Board OF Trade at
class conflict in .his republic, in that the
expelled citizens were informed that the
only cause of their ex xlulsi0n was their
action in connection with labor Organi-
cations.
There is also a story to the effect that
the spanish Consul offered the Board of
Trade $4,000 to have the expelled men,
who are all Cuban revolutionists, put
aboard Spanish gunboat in the vicinity
of Key West. This seems remarkably
improbable, but the Central Labor Union
calls the attention of the United States
authorities to iG, and desire that peace be
preserved in Florida.

COLEMAN, TEX, March l3.--This morn
ing the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
road Office here was the scene of a shold-
up" resulting in a loss to the express
and railroad companies and employees of
over $4,000. James Muse, an express
messenger, Henry Brien, night operator,
and two men were in the depot. Muse
mad occasion to 60 out about $40 O'Clock
and came running back and said, "some-
one is robbing the cars" The party
started TO the cars when Brien told Muse
to run back and get something to shoot
with. Muse went back toward the depot
TO get his six-shooter, when three men
jumped out from the south door of the
depot, thrust siX-shooters in his face and
told MIN with an oath to open the safe.
OBEYING ORDERS.
Muse opened it, and the robbers got two
express packages-one of $4,000, another
OF $500, another OF $50 of railroad money,
and the pooket-book Of Muse with $135 in
1t and his gold watch, worth 1925. While
this was going on, Brown ana the yard
men were up the road few hundred
yards, at the car which Muse saw the
men get out of, and which they found had
been broken open and load OF bran set
on fire. After some trouble, they sue
ceeded in putting the fire out. 1t is be-
lleved that the robbers do not live far from
this place. All the men wore long black
masks that concealed tber faces.
